Mims caught two more touchdown passes, a 30-yarder and a 26-yarder, before the first half concluded.

Mims was Baylor's second-best receiver last season with 794 yards, but he leads all Bears receivers in touchdowns over the last two years with 16 total. In 2017 he had 1,087 receiving yards.

With the three touchdowns on Saturday, he's almost halfway to the eight total touchdowns he had last season.

Since Jalen Hurd is now gone to the NFL, Mims is the primary candidate to become the Bears' No. 1 receiving option for 2019. He played the part well against UTSA.

Backup QB continues to impress with his legs

Baylor has rushed for 636 yards in the first two games of the season.

A large chunk of those have come from backup quarterback Gerry Bohanon, who rushed for 93 yards and his first rushing touchdown against UTSA. He rushed for 84 yards in the season-opener against Stephen F. Austin. He lead the Bears’ in rushing yards each week.

History for Chris Platt

With Baylor leading 56-14 with 8:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, Chris Platt scored his first touchdown of the season on a 15-yard run.

While it came at a point where the outcome had already been decided, it held significance for the fifth-year senior.

The touchdown made Platt the fourth active Division I player to score a touchdown in five different seasons.

Platt was granted eligibility for a fifth season after he played in just four games during his junior season. He’s scored 12 touchdowns with Baylor since 2015.

First Baylor punt return under Matt Rhule

Baylor cornerback Grayland Arnold made a little bit of history in the second quarter.

Arnold returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown. It was the first punt return for a touchdown since Matt Rhule took over prior to the 2017 season.

It was also the longest Baylor punt return since Shaun Rochon in 2005.
